MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) confirmed with sources close to Kimmons that the fight has been accepted and bout agreements distributed. However, Miller’s manager wasn’t immediately available for comment.

The middleweight bout takes place Sept. 17 at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Neb. — most likely on the night’s un-aired preliminary card.

Kimmons, a Midwest-based fighter who’s the head instructor at the Kansas City Xtreme Couture gym, had dominated in many of the country’s top regional promotions before earning his invitation to the UFC. He made his octagon debut in June (as a late replacement for an injured Alessio Sakara) and scored a first-round submission victory over Rob Yundt at The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale.

It was Kimmon’s 12th victory in his past 13 fights. (In fact his only career losses have come to UFC vets Joe Riggs, Marvin Eastman and Ryan Jensen).

As MMAjunkie.com first reported last week, the UFC recently signed Dan Miller (and his brother, Jim Miller), who will take on Kimmons. Dan recently won the IFL middleweight title with a first-round submission victory over Ryan McGivern. It was just his second fight in the IFL; he debuted with the organization in August 2007 with a submission win over Dave Phillips.

Miller, who is also the middleweight champion for Cage Fury Fighting, has a strong wrestling base and has scored five of his eight career victories via submission.
